The sins of a few priests and some bishops are so heinous that they cannot possibly do sufficient penance alone. Our precious Lord has gifted you with the privelege of being on His Cross with Him in your perseverance. Your role as Alter Christi is an incredible honor. Your sufferings are a balm of Gilead for sin sick souls. Thank you for the example you give us of noble suffering and unrelenting truth telling.

I hope that in the end all guilty will be exposed and suffer consequences. Only time will tell just how many are complicit in Fr. MacRae's unjust treatment and suffering. Justice will prevail, I hope and pray. How many other priests have been accused unjustly and imprisoned or had their faculties as priests taken away? One has to think about this. Where great sums of money are at stake, unscrupulous people come out from under their rocks and take advantage. Who will pay for the lives of priests who could not take the suffering and chose to end their lives? Our society has been too long oblivious to the plight of our priests. Now is the time for all concerned citizens to call attention to this injustice. I pray for more people like Mr. MacDonald and the Catholic League's William Donahue to alert us all to the truth. I also pray for real victims of real abuse. "... forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us..." I appreciate Mr. MacDonald’s article.

It all sounds unbelievable. Just finished praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for you. In California there have been many outrageous cases (true) against some priests but they don't serve prison time. I will tell my friends to pray for your defense. God Bless You.

I am heartbroken at the horrible injustice to you rendered by the judicial system. The perceution you have recieved by so many is truly a nightmare. My prayers and thoughts are with you and will be daily until you receive justice. Please know that my friends here in Barberton, Ohio will not forget you.

It is very sad that in doing so totally innocent religious have been "literally "sold out " by the hierarchy and abandoned. It is ironic to me that in such cases they experience similar suffering to the genuine victims of abuse -not being believed, abandoned by those who consider them liars and/or an embarassment, and left to suffer alone and in silence. The crucifix reveals the One who knows the suffering of false accusation and punishment and I know it will sustain Father MacRae and other innocent religious during their ordeal. I keep them in my prayers.
